Nishitetsu Kurume Station

Traveler highlights

Nishitetsu Kurume Station is an elevated stop on the Tenjin Omuta Line, connected inside to a bus center and the Emax shopping complex. It is more than two kilometers from JR Kurume Station, so be sure not to confuse the two when planning your route. Nearby Meiji-dori is where the long-running yatai Nankin Senryo first opened, a shop associated with the development of Kyushu tonkotsu ramen. Shopping streets and central Kurume are also close by. Take a bus from the station forecourt to explore the city or walk around the neighborhood for food. It is a practical base for seeing central Kurume and connecting Nishitetsu trains with buses.
